I used ASC BlueLines in my last build - I quite like the sound of tht amp, but I have not compared the BlueLines to other capacitors. i've chosen to go with ClarityCap TC in my current build. I'm not convinced the TCs will do it for me, so may try "better" metallised dry poly or go back to the BlueLines.
Or try to minimise the effect of the last PS cap by using a quality film and foil as partial ultrapath. Decisions, decisions... best get the amp built first!

But when I look at their specs, I see no difference from other motor run caps. Same construction, same materials, 50-60 Hz rating.
I have a batch of 120 uF ASC motor runs that I bought at bargain price. Time permitting, I will test how they sound in series with a high resolution tweeter.
I use the ASC in tube power supplies. Have you tried this type compared to other types of power supply caps like, electrolytic, Solen, DC link, etc...
8 uF 600 VAC Ronken (US-made) motor runs in a 1934 PPP 2A3 amp in place of the original PIO capacitor block. It was OK, but the original was better. Ronkens weren't broken in though, and that could explain the difference
I found that the 100uf x 370vac asc 386s caps took at least 50 hours before they really started to sound good and still improving.
and that antique oil cap block was sure broken-in.
But even if motor runs are capable of good sound, I would still prefer capacitors designed for high frequencies.
